WEEE Directive

The EC directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) (SI
2006 no 3289) came into force in the UK on the 1st July 2007.

The broad aim of the WEEE Directive
is to address the environmental impacts of electrical and electronic
equipment when it reaches the end of its life and to encourage its
separate collection, treatment, re-use, recovery, recycling and
environmentally sound disposal.

The costs of end of life recycling will be recovered by manufacturers
at the time of sale by a specific WEEE charge against each lamp or tube
types.

All WEEE Compliant products include a 15p WEEE charge per lamp or
tube types levied on us. All products sold have WEEE charge included in
final sales price.

At end of product life it is the responsibility of the user to return
products to an approved bulk collection point. From that collection
point no further recycling charges apply.
